We had an incredible kayaking experience! I’m not a strong swimmer, so falling into the river was my worst-case scenario and of course, it happened. But our guide, Noah, handled it flawlessly. He acted so swiftly and calmly that I barely had time to panic before he had me back in my kayak and on our way. Noah's professionalism, alertness, and great attitude made all the difference. We’ll definitely be back!
Response from the owner:Hi Kevin, thank you for the kind words! :)

I did the abseiling adventure and can’t recommend it enough. I am so grateful to the girls who took us out. They were so calming and patient talking me through the whole process. I don’t mind admitting I was crapping myself but I got through it not once but three times. You really got to try it and conquer your fears the girls will look after you.
Response from the owner:Hi Chris! Thanks for the great feedback :)

I absolutely loved my kayak tour with Mae! She has such a warm, friendly personality and made me feel welcome from the moment we met. I was a little nervous at first, but her calm and encouraging approach had me feeling confident before we even got in the water. Seeing Brisbane from the river was such a different experience, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for the city. The views were beautiful, the pace was perfect, and there was plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and have a few laughs along the way. What really made the tour special was Mae herself. She’s passionate, knowledgeable and genuine. It never felt rushed, and she made the whole trip feel relaxed, fun, and memorable. This was one of my favourite things I’ve done in Brisbane, and I’d recommend it to anyone—whether you’re visiting or you’ve lived here for years. Thanks, Mae, for such a fantastic morning. I’ll definitely be back on my own and with friends!
Response from the owner:Hi Justine, thank you for taking the time to write this amazing review! We can't wait to see you back :)

I booked a twilight/sunset kayaking trip/tour. It was very good. They were very helpful when booking when I had a request, and the trip out was very enjoyable, the briefing was comprehensive. When out on the water, the guide was very friendly and happily answered questions. On to the 'trip/tour' element, on the website it is sporadically referred to as a 'tour', but I experienced more of a supervised paddle without direction of what we could see etc. Which was fine, I enjoyed it, I say it just to set expectations.
Response from the owner:Thank you very much, Daniel! :)

I did the abseiling on a bright, winter morning with two hobbits from New Zealand. Martti was a great teacher: patient, encouraging, and fun. Very accessible to anyone who's looking for a bit of a rush/adventure. Absolutely gorgeous location.

Samantha was incredible with my 8-year-old daughter during our abseiling experience. She was very nervous, but Samantha was patient, encouraging and helped build her confidence. Thanks to her support, my daughter ended up doing it twice and loved it! We couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Hi Bec, we're glad your daughter enjoyed her abseiling experience :)

I hired a bike from here for the weekend, great way to see the river and the city. They are located just across from the botanical gardens. The ladies at the shop were very helpful with suggestions and they give you a map. The bike had a phone holder too which is super helpful. I really recommend this for a day or two if you have the time. There are drinking fountains all up and down the river paths.
Response from the owner:Thank you James! :)
